One only needs to meet the very shaky, very loose criteria that determines need.

As in most social freebies there are far to many who participate that are totally and completely unqualified.

Adding to the current bane of our country....no enforcement of the rules/law!!
What criteria do you think is very shakey and loose? I would like to know how many people totally and completely unqualified. Also, what makes you think there is no enforcement of the law.

I know when I was a an 8 year old child with a younger brother and a bed ridden mother with MS, she received $135 a month in aid and bag of groceries once a month from the Sisters of the Poor. I had a paper route that provided $5 a week income. The criteria and enforcement of the welfare considered that income, therefore, would reduce the monthly aid. I hope the current criteria and enforcement does not approach that.
